Residents in northern Harford County have a new, wild neighbor lurking in the woods. A private landowner captured the first verified video of a bobcat in the area, proving the elusive cats are officially here.
What’s Happening: The Susquehannock Wildlife Society confirmed that footage taken in September 2025 shows a wild bobcat roaming private property. Experts visited the site to match the video background with the land to ensure the clip was authentic.
This is the first time a bobcat has been recorded on camera in the county, despite years of unproven rumors.
Why It Matters: The presence of a top predator like a bobcat is actually a great sign for your local environment. It means the land is healthy enough to support a hunter that keeps pest populations like rats and rabbits under control.
Catch Up Quick: The Wildlife Society is asking anyone else who sees a bobcat to report it privately to help track the animals. They are also hosting a meeting on November 19 with a state biologist to teach the public more about these rare mammals.
